"I am in total agreement with Richard Ineson. Additionally I would say that playing Bluegrass on a ZB is an act of dire unkindness all round, and there should be a Royal Society to prevent such things from happening. Most ZB's…"

"Well said, Jody, for putting a positive slant on the zither-banjo (apart from the Yorkshireman who deserves to spend the rest of his days in Lancashire for his sins) and telling us about your banjo experiences. One does indeed need to be…"
"Dear RNM,
Thank you so much for showing us your beautiful looking Windsor DeLuxe No.1. I'm really envious. Always wanted one, but they're way out of my price range otherwise I'd have one! I know you to be a very good…"
The Art of the Banjo - Full Album by Rob MacKillop
"I too have listened to this album since its inception and have always loved it. I don't give the proverbial fiddle or fygge what strings you are using so long you continue to play zither-banjo with that lovely and delightful touch you…"
"Hi Joel.
For some reason my post on this subject left out the bit where I said I know it wasn't you who claimed zither-banjos to be ',,,the worst sounding banjos ever made.'
Jake. "
"Well put, Joel. I couldn't agree more with what you have to say, apart from the bit on zither-banjos not aging well. As they say in these parts, "Come orf it, bor. What are you like?" Most of my ZB's are…"
"Pray allow me to make a comment regarding the quality of the English Zither-Banjo. I have handled quite a large quantity of these instruments from bottom of the range cheapos made by Windsor, to a bespoke 1939 New Era Vibrante by Sydney W…"
Introduction To and How To Play The Zither Banjo - Rob MacKillop
"Lovely piece of playing, Rob. Thank you so much for putting this on. It's the perfect response to all those lost souls who, enchanted by their superior ignorance, make unkind comments about the sound and playability of…"
"Thanks, Tom. I should have said '...bend the loop UP...' Brain fog due to Covid-18.5!! You'll soon get the hang of it.
Best Wishes,
BJ."
"I was rather amused by the way the strings are attached in the picture. Somebody must have got totally exasperated trying to put the strings on! This is NOT how to do it. The tailpiece is there to exert a downward pressure on the…"
"Further Comment, if I may. With regard to the bridge being 'misplaced', the only way to find out is to use an accurate electronic tuner with a decent range and pluck the strings at the 12th fret. They should sound an octave…"
"My eyes aren't too sharp these days, Jody, but in what way 'mis-strung'? As A P Sharpe pointed out in the 1930's, 'there is no standard way of stringing a banjo', It was Essex and Cammeyer in the early…"
"I would have to agree with you there Carrie. This is a beautiful looking instrument (I've never played one) but even if I had the loot I'd have to think twice before splashing out on it even with my obsession for zither banjos! …"
"Hi there Carrie, it's your old friend Black Jake of Norwich. I've been looking at this banjo and am quite tempted. Without actually handling this banjo I wouldn't like to hazard a guess as to the maker. It has some…"
